Advance details for

Childs Best Friend

The currently running class is Best Fancy Dress

The next class will be Terrier AV - advance entry details here

Part way through the Terrier AV class running, the Childs Best Friend class will be opened
[ classes being staggered for a trial period ]



Entry to Childs Best Friend is open to all breeds and mixes, and will require dogs in Show Pose.

Our Judge for the class will be looking for Junior handlers stacking or free standing their dog in a show pose as proficiently as they can.

The privacy of children is very important so please blank out your Junior handlers visual identity by blurring the face or cropping photos suitably.

Our Judge is going to be considering handling skill, hence the dogs breed or mix is immaterial for this class.

Excellent examples of what to aim for as a Show type pose are here in the entry threads for the class below :
Gundog AV Large and Gundog AV Medium

Entries will be initially split by handler age catagories :
Under !0 Years of age
and
10 years + 1 day to 16 Years of age.

Three juniors from each age group will be chosen for the final six and then placed.

To be eligible for this class, members putting forward a Junior handler must be the parent / guardian of the child or must have parental / guardian permission if the entrant is a grandchild / niece / nephew

One dog per Junior handler only please

If you have any questions about this class, please post them on the FAQ thread.

Details of who to send your entries to will be released when the class formally opens around the 9th September
The class will run for one week.


The Show Management hope the timing of this class will help take the sting off youngsters going back to school after their Summer holidays, but do of course ask that the Junior Handlers finish their homework before practising their dog handling skills for their photo
